An update on cardiovascular effects of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is an important health problem which may cause or worsen systemic diseases. Chronic intermittent hypoxia during repetitive airflow cessations may cause endothelial dysfunction. Sleep apnoea is also shown to be associated with hypercoagulability which may be due to decreased nitric oxide levels and impaired vasodilatation. Endothelial dysfunction, increased systemic inflammation, sympathetic nervous system activation, increased oxidative stress and dysglycaemia may all contribu… Show more

“…(Obstructive) sleep apnea syndrome ((O)SAS) is common with a prevalence of 44-87.5% in active and 35-58% in controlled acromegaly [ 98 , 99 ]. OSAS is associated with ED, hypertension, systemic inflammation, and dysglycemia; all factors associated with an increased risk of CVD [ 100 ]. In general, acromegaly treatment had a positive effect on OSAS, but did not always result in cure [ 101 , 102 ].…”

“…Sleepiness may be a marker of proinflammatory cytokine activity that mediates cardiometabolic disease in the setting of OSA. [46][47][48] Amassing evidence suggests a possible differential association between sex and OSA-associated inflammatory burden. [49][50][51][52] Sleepiness may also be important in determining response to OSA therapy and adherence.…”

“…A Saos é uma desordem caracterizada pela obstrução parcial ou total das vias aéreas pelos tecidos moles que constituem a faringe, gerando transtornos funcionais sistêmicos e cognitivos 5,6 . Apesar de não ser uma ação consciente, a alteração do padrão normal do sono prejudica o nível profundo do sono, de modo que o paciente apresenta constantemente a sensação de "noite mal dormida", evidenciando sintomas de fatiga e sonolência diurna permanente 17 .…”

“…A Academia Americana de Medicina do Sono define Saos como uma doença que se caracteriza por episódios repetitivos de obstrução total (apneia) ou parcial (hipopneia) das vias aéreas superiores durante o sono 4 . Epidemiologicamente, está associada à má qualidade de vida e pode levar a um maior risco de acidentes domésticos e veiculares, depressão, ansiedade, perda de memória e doenças cardiovasculares 5,6 . A polissonografia é o padrão-ouro para avaliar a qualidade do sono do paciente e para diagnosticar a Saos 2,7 e os demais distúrbios do sono.…”
